An alternative is to use my 'Battle Cry!' or 'Memoir '44' ( or even my 'Barbarossa 1941') game boards.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-20648044262767938832011-05-22T12:16:15.325+01:002011-05-22T12:16:15.325+01:00Bob,

For a strapping fellow like you, perhaps; but for little me...<br />Regards,<br />Arthurarthur1815https://www.blogger.com/profile/12333670394529977263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-42438093576382720442011-05-19T22:15:56.394+01:002011-05-19T22:15:56.394+01:00Chris,

Just when you want to put this baby to bed.....Bob,<br /><br />Just when you want to put this baby to bed...<br /><br />It occurred to me as I read the hex version of the rules that you combine the versions: just substitute "space" for "square" or "hex", noting that either is useable. Virtually all the rules apply to both versions verbatim; e.g., the rule regarding measuring ranges, movement, etc. through sides of spaces, not corners. Where there are slight differences, e.g., placement of a unit within a space, a brief notation to that effect could be added. (Appendix 2 could be amended to show this.)<br /><br />Always ready to make suggestions where some other bloke gets to do the work...<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.com
